NO This document analyzes global renewable energy investment in 2016. It finds investment down but record new capacity of wind and solar, with renewables supplying most of the year’s added generation and costs falling across technologies. It compares commitments to renewable, fossil-fuel, large hydro, and nuclear capacity, and tracks a surge in energy-smart technologies. It documents robust acquisition activity alongside shifts toward auctions and corporate dealmaking. A focused chapter assesses hybrid projects that co-locate technologies to share infrastructure and smooth output.
